Despite the presence of  no "big name" Striders, both teams managed to finish in 8th position. I believe at least one of the women was recruited pre-race to run for the team. The pollen was thick in the air on this challenging (hilly) course. The temperature was "cool", probably in the 60's after the race, a far cry from last years 96 degree killer conditions. Gary & Bruce battled for 50's honors and the women put a team together! Enough prize money was offered to get a good field - 24:30 men's winner, 28:28 women's winner.

Women’s 10K Team Results

Masters 40 3rd

For the first time in this race Bruce was able to claim first place in his age group; Roger is still slowed by a bad hamstring. Steve was a close second behind Bruce with Bill Bossmann coming in third. Other Striders claiming BMWs included Sherrie Sikora, who got first place because the runner ahead of her actually won the race. Linda Mirabella led the women with a third place showing in her age group. In addition to the trophies, the following Striders also won money based upon age graded results (top ten age graded results won): Bruce, Steve and Linda. Linda was actually in 11th place, but was moved up to ninth place when two runners ahead of her were disqualified for not being USATF members.

While Mike Los is not old enough to be on the master’s teams, he was the first Strider to finish. He accomplished this after starting at the back of the pack because he got to the starting line late. He also was delayed at the start because his shoelaces were not tied when the gun went off. Image what he could have done otherwise.

Bolder-Boulder 10K (Boulder, CO): 28 May 2001

 Dennis Rears     57:20     1st NJ Club President (No Overall Available)

Dennis ran this race for the 5th time in 6 years. Unfortunately, "I had my worst 10K ever, taking 57:20 to complete the race. Once again the altitude got to me. I was 11/28 out of New Jersey. There were over 40,000 finishers.

 LET'S ALL PARTICIPATE THE REST OF THE YEAR!
